Following on from yesterday's female Chaos Marines, I've got a converted Chaos Lord for your viewing pleasure today. He is actually converted using a metal Space Marine veteran as the base with a lot of added details and a new head. He also has a lot of sculpted details like the ornamental swirls on his armour and a lot of the backpack setup. Fairly obviously, the tentacle dreadlocks were also converted using individual strands of rolled milliput that were painstakingly added one by one.
The body on his back is actually from the Nurgle banner from the Chaos Space Marine set. It was inspired from the way that Emperor's Children create combat drugs by rendering down corpses. I figured he would have one rendering down as he fought!
He has seen quite a lot of battlefield time too, and was pretty much my go-to choice fora long time, but that was back in 5th edition (which by now is sounding pretty damn old!).
That about finishes it for today, as ever, leave a comment below and don't forget to check back tomorrow for more chaos conversions.
I really like the pose. The head is perfect, and nice work on those "dreadlocks". The entire model is great. Well done.
ReplyDeleteIf you like him, wait till you see what I've got tomorrow (He had a matching unit ... a big one).
DeleteReally good sign of a conversion is how much you think it looks like a stock model. Well played. Looking forward to seeing the unit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rory. He is a bit old now, but I was so proud of him at the time too. For some reason, looking at this older stuff really makes me want to work on my Emperor's Children again. I'm starting to feel the 8th Edition excitement.
DeleteWell at least it isn't Nurgle drawing you in ;)
DeleteThe new models do look great, but I've never really been a Nurgle guy, it just never did it for me, whereas I would probably have World Eaters and Thousand Sons armies given enough hobby time. I've always likes Slaanesh the most though.
DeleteHe looks great! Love the idea of the corpse being rendered down on the backpack!! Hopefully he'll see plenty of action in 8th ed.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have high hopes for the new edition. I think 7th has been the most broken edition since 40k started; what with all of the D weapons, dodgy formations, and free tanks.
DeleteHehe, you can barely tell he used to be a loyalish Astartes. Only the pose gives it out, if you happen to know that particular figure.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work!
Thanks Ghaz. I haven't seen you around here much lately, so it's cool that you're back!
DeleteI love converting for Chaos. There are just so many options and parts available just waiting for a chance to serve the dark gods!
I will be honest, I think I miss like half of your uploads because you have no tumrnail, for whatever reason.
DeleteThat is kinda the same reason why I love converting orks!
